Lu Chengchuan dodged to the side, but the blood arrow had tracking ability.

As he ran, the blood arrow immediately changed its trajectory, turning and shooting towards him rapidly.

Realizing he couldn't dodge the blood arrow, Lu Chengchuan immediately circulated his Inner Energy. Instead of running to the side, he charged directly at the Monster, ignoring the blood arrow pursuing him.

The Monster wasn't afraid either, waving its claws as it charged forward.

Lu Chengchuan collided with the Monster again. This time, he didn't knock the Monster away. Instead, he grabbed the Monster's left forearm with one hand and slammed his other hand forcefully into the Monster's body.

The Monster wouldn't stand there dumbly and let him hit it. The moment the fist landed, its claws also grabbed at Lu Chengchuan.

His clothes were torn open, and the sharp claws pressed against his skin. The Monster excitedly growled, eager to tear this human into pieces and feast on his blood.

But as it tried to claw him, it discovered that its claws only pierced the skin and couldn't penetrate deeper into the flesh beneath. Then, dozens of blood arrows struck its back, blasting open its clothes and leaving small red dots all over its body.

This human's body wasn't made of flesh and blood, but seemed to be forged from steel.

Before the Monster could figure it out, a fist landed on its body.

Lu Chengchuan punched the Monster in the chest with all his might, infused with Inner Energy. The Monster's chest caved in, and all its ribs shattered.

The sound of breaking bones reached his ears, followed by the Monster's miserable scream. Its body convulsed violently, trying to break free from the human's grasp, but Lu Chengchuan held its arm tightly, preventing it from escaping no matter how much it struggled.

Ignoring the Monster's claws tearing at him, Lu Chengchuan slammed a second punch into it.

The second punch made the Monster scream even more shrilly. Its chest was smashed to pieces by Lu Chengchuan, and its internal organs were crushed as well.

Lu Chengchuan didn't give it a chance. The Monster's healing speed was ridiculously fast; its wounds were healing at a visible rate. Given some time, this thing would be back in perfect condition.

The Monster also realized that if this continued, it would be beaten to death.

As Lu Chengchuan was about to throw a third punch, the Monster suddenly severed its own forearm. Losing control, the Monster quickly retreated. As it fled, a thin mist of blood spread from its body, helping its wounds heal rapidly.

Lu Chengchuan threw down the Monster's severed arm and leaped forward, chasing after the Monster.

The Monster was fast, weaving through the defensive line at high speed, but Lu Chengchuan was just as quick, even faster than the Monster. The distance between them was slowly closing.

After chasing back and forth for half a minute, the Monster's cracked chest had completely healed, and even its severed arm had grown back.

The Monster's healing power was strong, unbelievably so.

Such injuries would have killed any other Monster, but this thing was running and jumping around, and all its wounds were healed in less than a minute.

However, the Monster seemed to know that it couldn't beat Lu Chengchuan. Even though its wounds had healed, it didn't dare turn around and continue fighting.

Many people on the defensive line saw Lu Chengchuan chasing the Monster. They knew how powerful the Monster was; whether they were soldiers or Espers, anyone who stood in its way would die.

Who is this person? Do we have such a powerful expert on our side?

The sky was dim, and many searchlights had been destroyed. Lu Chengchuan stood in the shadows, making it impossible to see him clearly.

Everyone was puzzled. Lin Qingyu hid behind cover, holding a rifle in her hand. She and her team had been sent by the bureau to protect the research team. They had thought there would be no danger, but they encountered a Monster after only one day.

Team leader Qin Sheng was waving his Qi blade beside her, killing one Monster after another. Her mental energy was too depleted to continue using her abilities, so she could only use a rifle to assist from the side.

She saw the figure chasing the Blood Fiend, and it looked... a little familiar...

Lin Qingyu felt that she was just under too much mental pressure and was seeing things.

"Qingyu! Watch the front, don't get distracted!"

Just as she was distracted, several Monsters rushed up. Qin Sheng had to retreat and called out to wake Lin Qingyu.

Awakened, Lin Qingyu put aside her fantasies and quickly opened fire to stop the Monsters from approaching.

On the other side, Lu Chengchuan and the Monster burst out of the main battlefield. He caught up with the Monster and punched it hard in the back, sending it flying into a large tree.

The tree shook, its branches trembling. By the time the Monster stood up, Lu Chengchuan had already arrived behind it.

He kicked it down and then jumped on top of the Monster.

No matter how the Monster struggled beneath him, he punched it in the head. But this punch only cracked the Monster's head slightly; it didn't shatter it.

His fist was infused with the force of the Surging Wave Skill, two layers of force. Even if a piece of meat was placed under a thick steel plate, his punch could still smash it.

The force struck the skull but was blocked by something, preventing it from damaging the fragile brain inside.

Although this strike didn't shatter its head, the immense power made the Monster dizzy and unable to resist. Lu Chengchuan continued to punch, using brute force if the force didn't work!

Its sharp claws feebly reached out to grab him. Lu Chengchuan ignored the Monster's attacks and punched it repeatedly in the head.

He didn't believe that the Monster could recover if its head was shattered. Even if it could, he wanted to see how many times the Monster could recover. He didn't believe there was such an unkillable Monster in this world.

Punch after punch, the cracks on the Monster's head grew more and more numerous, and small fragments fell to the ground. On the tenth punch, with a crack, the Monster's head was completely shattered.

Underneath the Monster's skull wasn't the usual red and white matter, but a black substance that looked like jelly.

Without hesitation, Lu Chengchuan reached into the black substance. He plunged his entire hand in, and the Monster's body convulsed violently. The struggling Monster was held down tightly, its death throes having no effect.

Lu Chengchuan stirred the black substance, the Monster's brain, until it was completely mashed. The Monster twitched for a while and then died completely.

[Killed Blood Fiend, gained 8 years of lifespan.]

The System's voice sounded. He had killed the Monster and immediately gained eight years of lifespan. A look of joy flashed across Lu Chengchuan's face.

The Blood Fiend's strength wasn't weak, and its recovery was even more abnormal, but it couldn't beat Lu Chengchuan. The Blood Fiend's skills were all focused elsewhere. Its claws could easily tear people apart, but they posed little threat to Lu Chengchuan.

Lu Chengchuan's physical defenses were formidable, comparable to the Ironclad Zombie from Little Stone Village. He could stand his ground and let it attack; the Blood Fiend wouldn't be able to kill him before his Inner Energy ran out.

The battle was a test of strength, speed, and resilience.

The Blood Fiend had an absurd recovery ability, but unfortunately for it, losing its head still meant death.

After dealing with the Monster, Lu Chengchuan got up and returned to the defense line. Without the Blood Fiend's harassment, the soldiers were able to hold the breach. They plugged the gap, stopping most of the Monsters.

A few Monsters still managed to break through, but the soldiers and Espers were able to handle them.
